Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.2650G>T(p.Glu884Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E884E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

PALB2 (HGNC:26144): (partner and localizer of BRCA2) This gene encodes a protein that may function in tumor suppression. This protein binds to and colocalizes with the breast cancer 2 early onset protein (BRCA2) in nuclear foci and likely permits the stable intranuclear localization and accumulation of BRCA2.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-23626334-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23626334-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 530158.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-23626334-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Submissions by phenotype

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 13, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jun 16, 2021	Loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17200668, 24136930, 25099575). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 24415441). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu884*) in the PALB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	curation	Leiden Open Variation Database	May 13, 2019	Curators: Marc Tischkowitz, Arleen D. Auerbach. Submitter to LOVD: Marc Tischkowitz. -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 29, 2018	This variant is denoted PALB2 c.2650G>T at the cDNA level and p.Glu884Ter (E884X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamic Acid to a premature stop codon (GAG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in at least one BRCA1/2-negative individual with breast cancer (Fernandes 2014) and is considered pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Oct 22, 2019	The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -
